when this is done Octave should work for you. Keep an eye out for warnings though. This was tested on Ubuntu 13.04 64 bit. If you use Debian you will need libqscintilla2-8 instead of 9. I am actually not sure if you only need the dev package. On Debian you will also need to install libxft2-dev since this is not installed by default.

To run Octave with the GUI enabled run

octave –force-gui

this enables the GUI. The GUI is still in beta though so it might be a bit rough.
